SOLDIERS GRATEFUL THANKS
V "I see by your letter," writes a bounded New Zealander from England, "that the people of New Zealand can still raise money for the cause, and I can assure you that if the New Zealand people could only know wliat a Godsend it is when one arrives in England wounded from the front line, without olio 6ingle thing to his name, and is supplied with everything on entering a. New Zealand hospital, they_ would gladly give mqre still. I arrived in , Brookenhurst Hospital without any- ' thing of any kind belonging to me, and the morning after my arrival the sister brought me everything I required, even to stamps to put on any English letters I wished to write. All of this is supplied by the War Contingent Associa- . tion, which has its official visitors to all our hospitals to see that no one is without anything that is needed. The whole thin* is wonderful in its completeness. There is absolutely 110 difference between officers and men in the attention shown."
